leaning and Maintenance
If you use fabric softener or do regular Cold water washing, it is very important that you occasionally clean
the inside of your washer.
• Fill your washer with Hot water.
• Add about two cups of dish washing detergent.
• Let it operate for several minutes.
• Stop the washer, turn off the power without daring the water, then open the lid leave it to soak overnight.
• After soaking, drain the washer by briefly selecting a spin cycle until water has drained, and run it through
a normal warm water cycle without adding any detergent or clothes.
Or use Tub Clean Program periodically.
We do not recommend that you wash clothes during this procedure.
• Concentrated bleaches and diaper sanitizer will cause damage to the paint work and components of
your washer.
• Hydrocarbon solvents i.e. petrol, paint thinners and lacquer thinners, etc. can dissolve plastic and blister
paint (Be careful when washing garments stained with these solvents as they are flammable DO NOT
put them in washer or dryer without presoaking and rinsing them first.)
• Some pretreatment sprays or liquids can damage your washer’s control panel.
• Use of dyes in your washer may cause staining of the plastic components. The dye will not damage the
machine but we suggest you thoroughly clean your washer afterwards. We do not recommend the use
of dye strippers in your washer.
• Do not use your washer lid as a work surface.
